1998 Château Bel-Air Lagrave
Community Tasting Note
ricard Does not like this wine:
89 Points
Thursday, September 21, 2023 - Smells very Cabernet - eucalyptus, cigar box, pencil shavings, cassis - the usual Parkeresque panoply. Quite dry - too dry - lacks fruit and sweetness. Too dry and dusty. Charmless and sad.
